This is because this year students were assessed against 2019 standards, but the students who sat A Levels in 2023 had nationally elevated baselines following their GCSE's being determined by centre assessed grades in 2021. As a result comparisons between years are unreliable, and not necessarily a helpful guide to evaluate performance. |
